MIAMI (AP) - The swine flu outbreak has prompted Carnival Corp.
to suspend stops at Mexican ports for all three ships scheduled to
immediately visit the country.
Carnival said Tuesday it would address later stops in an
afternoon statement.
Meantime, the company and competitors Royal Caribbean
International and Norwegian Cruise Lines tried to allay guest fears
by emphasizing how thoroughly the ships are cleaned.
Norwegian's Pearl is on a repositioning voyage with Mexico
stops. The company says it is monitoring the situation and
conducting fleet-wide guest health questionnaires.
Royal Caribbean is telling passengers not to be wary, because
the outbreaks are inland, not in the Mexican coastal cities popular
with cruise tourists.
